But i recently was flipping through a magazine i found at work for hobby electronics and i saw a SMT kit. So i researched it a little and found out that resistors and capacitors look the same. But thanks a lot for your help, I'm looking at a small circuit board i had lying around and i can see that only the black ones are labeled for resistance. And sitting right in the middle of the thing is a PIC16C56A  . I've also been looking for websites that sell SMT parts, the best so far is www.goldmine-elec.com . they have tons of SMT stuff including LED's. |
I got a large box of SMDs/SMTs, off ebay for only about $10-15 In the box I found over a hundred rolls of SMDs, most of these rolls had 100+ components on them. I have made some circuits but not had time to do a lot of work. If you just want a whole assortment of components this would be a good idea, in my opinion.
